The Reels Film Festival Awards

Thanks to three passionate Frenchmen, the snowboard world now has an international snowboarding film festival. Inspired by Cannes (the French have a legacy with movies after all) and other events like the Sundance Film festival, Telluride Mountain Film Festival and the Banff Mountain Film Festival, The Reels curated and celebrated every snowboard video project under the sun. They did it up proper, too. A plush theatre, parties, a mini hill for groms to ride, a mini ramp–all in the beautiful surroundings of Annecy, France. From webisodes to full flicks, here’s who took home the first annual awards.
